ONLY FIRE WILL REVEAL THE TRUTH
It's bushfire season and pressure is building for the Waterloo Police Department. Two bodies have been found in a burnt-out car, and Detective Inspector Hal Challis suspects that they are linked to the sudden increase in drug suppliers flooding the Mornington Peninsula.
When Melbourne's Major Drug Division starts blocking his every move, Challis is certain of the connection. But with the team occupied by the hunt for a serial predator, an investigation into elusive hitmen and the discovery of an abandoned meth lab, it seems fires are the least of Waterloo's problems.
From the multiple Ned Kelly Award-winning author of Consolation and Day's End comes the final Hal Challis investigation, for readers of Jane Harper, Ian Rankin and Chris Hammer.

Garry Disher has published over sixty titles across multiple genres and is best known as Australia's King of Crime. He has won the Deutscher Krimi Preis four times, the Ned Kelly Award three times, and in 2018 he received the Ned Kelly Lifetime Achievement Award.
